After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the 76ers 127-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
